Build Equity.
Not Just Hourly Code.
Stop renting out your brain by the hour. Join a network where your code buys you ownership in the companies you build.
The Freelance Trap
You write the code, they get the exit. Best case scenario? You get paid your rate. Worst case? The project dies and your work vanishes. You are a mercenary with zero upside.
- ✕Zero equity ownership
- ✕Income stops when you stop typing
- ✕Chasing clients for invoices

- ✓Vested equity in every line of code
- ✓Pre-fundraised projects (you get paid)

Why Builders Win:
The Portfolio Advantage
Orb21 treats builders as partners in execution, not disposable labor.
1. Reputation & Credit
Beyond the CV
"My work speaks for me. I don't need to sell myself."
Fake reviews and "likes" that mean nothing.
Work-based reputation built on delivered code/design.
Credit for specific features shipped.
Portable proof that travels with you.
2. Ownership & Upside
The Execution Investor
"I can build something I partly own. Each project improves my future."
Success or failure of the startup creates no extra wealth for you.
Possible equity/tokenized ownership in projects.
Contribution-based fairness (recorded work).
Diversified risk across multiple startups.
3. Long-Term Leverage
Builder Success Probability
"What I build actually matters. I'm not just selling hours."
Low leverage. Selling time for money with no compound growth.
Portfolio model spreads risk across many attempts.
Top builders are "pulled" into winning teams.
Career momentum compounds with every project.
The Most Important Insight
Orb21 turns builders into execution investors. You invest skill instead of cash, and get portfolio-level upside.
That is extremely high leverage in startup terms.
